#41 of 440 sign me up for the class action by dredgie Jul 28, 2008 (6:31 am)
I was just stranded last week with the Transmission service urgent message - 50 miles from home at 11pm. My dealer coolly informed me that the 2003 xc90 T6 needs a new transmission - $5300. This is outrageous for a car with only 85,000 miles. I am going to start writing letters today.   It is too bad, I had a 740 GLE for 12years and was never stranded by that car. I have always loved Volvo.

Replying to: dredgie (Jul 28, 2008 6:32 am) I didn't do that. I was quoting the previous poster (embargo). Perhaps he will come back and provide more info.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#45 of 440 2004 T6 trans by ripperman Jul 28, 2008 (5:40 pm)
I can't belive all of the bad things I'm reading about the transmissions in the xc-90. My 2004 xc-90 T6 is under warranty until 4/09 and belive me, I'm getting rid of it soon. It's got 39,000 miles and the trans makes a lite knocking sound when I shift from drive to reverse and back to drive again.   Does anyone know if the trans fluid has to be changed? The dealer (a woman-no offense) told me no, becasue it's a sealed system.   Thanks Replies to this message: luvmyvolvo (Aug 03, 2008 5:05 pm)

Replying to: peppergurl (Apr 13, 2008 6:34 pm) Count me in on a class action lawsuit against the volvo xc90 transmission!!! I had to have my transmission replaced at 80,000mi and have had problems too numerous to count! It's a lemon! Now I'm having the low beam bulb replacement problem and my driver's seat is stuck! I've had it! I really love the way the xc90 feels and drives when it's working... but enough is enough! I've got to find a good lawyer!

Replying to: ripperman (Jul 28, 2008 5:40 pm) That's funny, because the dealer recommended that I have my transmission fluid changed despite the fact that the service isn't in the scheduled maintenance book. The service tech happened to be a man and I am a woman (I tend to get sold A LOT of unnecessary fluid flushes and/or "recommended services")   So 2 days, a 45,000 mile service and a transmission service later and my transmission seized up on my way home.   Apparently the coolant had leaked into the transmission so both the radiator and transmission were replaced under the extended warranty.   I'd love to be included in a class action lawsuit!
#48 of 440 tranny died on friday by kari4 Aug 03, 2008 (5:52 pm)
I am no longer on the waiting list for transmission failure, It happened on Friday night. This car is by far the biggest hunk of junk I have ever owned and I regret the day I ever decided to buy it. How is it possible that Volvo hasn't acknowledged this huge error on their part?? This is not something that I needed right now, and these are not just minor things to fix, this is a huge repair bill and Volvo knows it will happen to those of us with this disgusting car. I would love for someone to steal this car but they wouldn't get far enough away to make it worth their while.
#49 of 440 XC90 Class Action Lawsuit? by volvo4five Aug 04, 2008 (12:22 pm)
Hi everyone,   Can anyone tell me if a class action lawsuit has been filed regarding the XC90 transmission failures? Please let me know. If so, I'm ready to join. The transmission failures, and Volvo's apparent disregard for their customers, are completely unacceptable. Seems to me that Volvo should be recalling each of these vehicles to have a new transmission installed at their expense.
#50 of 440 XC90 T6 with GM Transmissions!? by mikey148 Aug 06, 2008 (11:47 pm)
I have 04 XC90 T6 with 147,000Km (about 90,000 miles). I have always like this vehicle and the way it drives. The car has always been serviced at the dealership it was purchased at and has had any problem looked dealt with. My brother has the same vehicle with almost the same number of miles. He purchased the extended warranty, I did not. He has had his tranny replaced a while ago. We were talking the other day & I was expressing my concern about my slipping transmission when he told me that unbeknown to dealers, Volvo had been installing GM transmissions in these units (there may be other years involved, I cannot say). This shocked me! I have a great deal invested in this car and intended to keep it. A class action needs to be undertaken! I have never in all the vehicles I have owned (about 12 company vehicles over 30 years!) had a transmission problem. NOT even in a 2000 GMC Yukon I owned before the XC90! What gives with using a GM tranny (given Ford owns Volvo!). I am scheduled for service on August 11 and intend to ask some serious questions Monday morning. I'll keep you all posted when I ask about GM trannies. Mikey148 - Calgary, Canada Replies to this message: volvoguy25 (Aug 27, 2008 1:47 pm)
